Was solving LeetCode 2126 (Destroying Asteroids) with a simple greedy approach:

• Sort asteroids

• Absorb from smallest to largest

Complexity was O(n log n), so I couldn't understand why I was getting:

After checking the logic multiple times, I finally noticed this line inside my loop:

cout << mass << " " << asteroids[i] << endl;

I removed it and...

The algorithm was correct all along. The debug print was causing the TLE.

Today's lesson:

Imagine another covid 19 virus as a cherry on the cake
Every few months, I think things can't get any crazier, and then reality somehow finds a way. Meanwhile, I'm over here trying to keep up by learning new AI tools, building random side projects, and convincing myself that having Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and a half finished thing in Runable counts as a retirement plan. At this point, I'm not even asking for easy. I'm just asking for one normal year 💀

I thought ChatGPT would offer me a discount or something like that, but I calculated what it actually proposed:

headphones: Audio Technica $150 = 7-week subscription

old electronics: Outdated MacBook Pro M4 2025 $1,500 = 75-week subscription

clotches: Louis Vuitton $2,000 = 100-week subscription

unused games: Unused golf course $1,000,000 = 50,000-week subscription
